"The Traveling Antiques Show"
by Randall L. Whipkey
When the television program "The Traveling Antiques Show" filmed
an episode in Summerset recently, Joan and four other local
residents had their antiques appraised on camera by the show's
experts. Each of the antiques, including the item that one of
the five found in the attic of a newly purchased home, has
some monetary value, but no two are worth the same amount of
money. Given the information that follows, you should be able
to find each antique owner's full name, what kind of piece he
or she owns, how he or she acquired the item, and its value
according to "The Traveling Antiques Show" appraiser.
- The total value of the five antiques appraised is $4,000,
with the most valuable worth $1,500.
- Yeager's item is worth more than the one that one of the
guests found in an old barn.
- The Pickle Castor is valued at twice the amount of Herb's
antique.
- The antique that one owner bought at an estate sale is
worth twice as much as the unopened bottle of Dr. Brophy's
Pain Panacea.
- On the program, Sperry follows the person who has the
Victorian "Fish Pond" Game appraised.
- According to the experts, the antique Carl has is worth
$500 more than the Puzzle Jug, which is valued at $500 more
than the item Zimmer brought to the show.
- Waldorf isn't the person who was willed the antique "by
my Aunt Agatha."
- Sperry isn't the guest who found an antique at a flea
market in Wales.
- Neither Sperry nor Waldorf is the one who owns the Betty
Lamp.
- The antique Thacker owns is appraised at $500 less than
the item shown by Greta; Greta isn't the one who has the
Dr. Brophy's bottle.
- Diane's antique, which isn't the one acquired at an estate
sale, is worth less than the "Fish Pond" Game.
- The item Aunt Agatha left to one "Traveling Antiques Show"
guest isn't the Puzzle Jug.
